this week president obama and german chancellor merkel said that they would impose tough sanctions on entire sectors of the russian economy. not only if russia invades ukraine, but also if russia disrupts the may 25th senator election. senator ayotte, you have introduced legislation to impose those sanctions not later, but right now. >> they need to be imposed now, chris. the bottom line is if we wait until the elections, it will be too late at that point. we already see the playbook of what happened in crimea happening in eastern ukraine, and it's time to impose tougher sectoral sanctions to provide support for the ukrainian military, and if -- at this point russia is not getting the message, they're violating the so-called geneva agreement, and you have russian agents in ukraine fomating unrest and causing all the violence and really creating a situation right now that warrants tougher sanctions by this administration. >> briefly, congressman schiff, have the obama sanctions up to this point been too weak? >> well, look, i think we're going to ultimately need stronger sanctions. the

i think the president's recent meeting with german chancellor angela merkel produced almost nothing in terms of closer allied agreement. i think putin has had the high cards. he still has them. >> so putin basically has a green light? >> well, he has an implicit green light. he doesn't think that the sanctions that have been imposed so far are enough to slow him down. he doesn't see any concerted effort by the west to come to the ukraine interim government's defense, and while i think his objective fundamentally is to either delegitimize the upcoming presidential elections later this month or if he could win th them, he's also got a plan "b" and it looks like that may be more what is happening which is partitioning the country again, as in crimea, stirring up opposition in the eastern and southern parts and taking those parts into russia. >> you talk about a concerted effort by the west to help ukraine and calling for that. there's a bill calling for $100 million in direct aid. sending mres, not sending any lethal weapon, not arming the ukrainians. should we arm them? >> well, i think

having said that, we also know that president obama and german chancellor angela merkel met earlier this week. they talked about increasing sanctions, toughening those sanctions. but sir, will it be tough enough to stop vladimir putin from moving ahead with his game plan? >> well, there's no evidence that they reached any agreement on the specifics of tougher sanctions, and certainly the europeans' economic dependence on russian energy supplies and their economic relationships with russia, especially countries like germany, make it hard for them to accept tougher economic sanctions. but this is where you need american leadership. the fact is that what putin has succeeded in doing is using military force to change international boundaries on the continent of europe. and if the europeans don't realize it, that puts them in considerable jeopardy. the european union is still on very shaky foundations when it comes to the monetary union, political tensions are rising. and putin is taking advantage of them. i think this is a very bad time for the western alliances. >> right. and historically,
